A rollicking read - Jake Riviera

Author Information

Sean Tyla formed the phenomenon that was Ducks Deluxe in 1972, then the Tyla Gang in 1976. The single Styrofoam was only the second record to be released on Stiff Records. Sean and the Gang signed with California-based label Beserkley Records in 1977, releasing two albums. In 1979 he signed a $250,000 five-album deal with Polydor International and had his first solo Top Ten single in Germany. He formed The Force in 1981 with Welsh rock legend Deke Leonard, but quit the music scene in 1985 becoming a sports car salesman, pig farmer and professional cricket coach (coaching at Major Ronald Ferguson's cricket centre; the two becoming firm friends). You can't keep an old rocker down and he released the aptly titled Back in the Saddle in 2008 to rave reviews; his first album since 1983. Sean has also reformed both Ducks Deluxe and The Tyla Gang, who will be touring in Scandinavia and Europe throughout 2010/11. They will be appearing at a town near you; you have been warned. Seventies bad boy of rock Sean Tyla is back!
